95% Emotions 5% Spirituality

Someone recently told me dat when we fall in love,
no matter how 'holy' we are,
it's 95% emotions
while only 5% of spirituality (God) is involved.....
seriously, i've always reminded myself not to let emotions take over me...
But still each time, i fall again n again in dat 95%
then i start to get emo when things don't go the way i expect....
Trust me emotions can blind us from the Truth...
i've been half-blind....


Until Ps Lindy drew us dis illustration during cell last nite

Imagine a pyramid
U and ur potential partner on each side of the pyramid
while God is at the peak
She shared that we shud be looking towards God and not to each other
And as we move closer to Him, he'll bring both of u closer to each other...
Dis illustration really struck me....
I realized I've been relying on my own strength so much...
Dat I almost forgot dat God shud be the focus of all our relationships...
Surrender to Him and allow His will to be done....
After all, He is Our Father.....
He only wans the BEST for us....
especially when
Relationship is the second most Important Decision after our Salvation
Who we're going to marry is going to affect de rest of our life...
Serious matter ey...haha
Dun play play....

Therefore, even now
we shud pray so dat God will prepare us spiritually
and mentally to keep the main thing the Main thing
and never be swept away by emotions
when we fall in love someday...

The Bridge to God's Love for YOU

In conjunction with the upcoming Passion World Tour
dis Aug 3rd,
I would like to present to you this short video entitled
The Bridge
Another touching video which tells of the
story of a father who chose to save the life of many over his own son....
Sounds familiar???
Yes its Our Father In Heaven who gave up His One & Only Son Jesus for each of our lives...
I pray that for those who'll be going for the Passion Conference this coming Sunday
dat they'll go with open hearts, ready to receive and be changed by Our Loving Father...
I pray that each of them will go back with a renewed heart....
dat they'll come to know the God we love and worship...
Watch this video & be touched by the Love of God
Do drop some comments if it touches u in any way.... =p
God bless!

40days for People I Care

Last Friday, we had a Glowing Hearts dinner
Its a dinner together by Glow + Hearts United cell...
Being new in the cell, ofcoz i was rather laid back n quiet...
We had some ice breakers, worship session and then Makan time!!
I had a great time of fellowship with the rest =]
got to know more ppl....
After dat, there was a short time of sharing bout wat is our Passion...
Honestly, I found it difficult to answer....
I just couldn't tink of sth i wud suffer for...
Some say music, some say ministry....
The only thing dat came across my mind was my family members...
Rite now, they're the only 'thing' i wud suffer for...




During sharing, i received an sms from my lil sis...
saying dat she had been stranded in Mid Valley for quite awhile with no taxis...
asked me if I could go get her now dat i've a car....
I wanted to but i just dunno de way to her place....
And so i asked her to wait a lil longer n see if there's taxi...
I even suggested other alternatives like taking the KTM to another station...
I was seriously worried but at the same time, felt helpless....
It was 10sth....


At 11.30pm, still she couldn't find a taxi...
and so i tot i REALLY had to go dis time by hook or by crook.....
Called a fren for help and i was ready to leave...
Just then, she called back to say dat she finally found a taxi...
Imagine i was so worried dat i was getting teary dee....

And SO i've decided to do the 40day Fast,
i'm taking this time to pray for my loved ones, my frens, my coursemates and even for Malaysia
As i've mentioned in my previous post,
I am still looking for directions for this coming months
I guess I could prolly take this 40days simply to listen + receive from God...

For all of u who'll be reading this and meeting me often,
I'm gonna fast ALL DRINKS except H2O...
and unless Milo is going to be my lunch....
So yeah....
Dun try to tempt me with juices or any sorta drinks...
I'm doing this for all of u guys kayyyy....
So help me.... =p
